A Note to IT about ULTRA
u OVERVIEW The App: Ultra is a 32-bit /64 bit Windows app designed for client/server environments but able to run as a stand-alone single PC app. The executable app is named “invULTRA2013.exe” and it resides in the SERVER FOLDER along with the databases. Databases: Written Visual Basic, the software drives a multiuser Access databases for CURRENT RECORDS as well as secondary databases for ARCHIVE RECORDS and for BACKUP. These database file are named, respectively, invplus.mdb, invplus_Archive.mdb, and invplus_Backup.mdb. The invplus_Backup db is used mainly by stand-alone PC users who must manually back up their db. The other two dbs, invplus.mdb and invplus_ARCHIVE.mdb should be backed up daily along with the SERVER FOLDER. v TECHNICAL OS: ULTRA runs under Win xP, Win7-10 and server OSs compatible with them. Network and Security: ULTRA runs under a private network and is NOT accessible via the public internet.It supports online requisitioning via the LAN and we recommend T1 lines if remote branches will requisition supplies. It supports up to 999 users IDs and each such user may be given restrictive rights to access ULTRA ranging from READ ONLY to FULL READ/ WRITE access. The SYSTEM ADMINSTRATOR is by default user ID = 1 and this user is allowed to add new users to ULTRA and assign them passwords and access right. Each user may access a utility from with ULTRA to periodically change his/her password, with the exception of REQUISITION ONLY users assigned “Q” access rights. Permissions: We recommend full admistrative rights be given to users for the SERVER FOLDER ONLY. If less than full administrative rights are given, we recommend loosening the UAC (User Access Control) by the network administrator. Installation: Due to its client/server nature, a FULL SETUP of the software needs to be performed for each workstation accessing the app. This is because the invULTRA2013.exe file calls on *.dlls and *.ocxs residing on the client. If the FULL SETUP is to be performed remotely, we recommend that the remote installer do so by first signing on under the workstation’s user’s network access ID. For more on installation, please consult Setup-Network w LEGAL The initial licensing fee for ULTRA software is $3,000 and an annual licensing and maintenance fee (ALM) is payable annually beginning in the second year. The licensing entity is entitled to run ULTRA within the entity’s scope but separate legal entities must pay separate initial license and annual licensing fees. Failure to pay annual ALM fees will result in termination of the entity’s licensing rights to the ULTRA software. There are NO PER SEAT CHARGES.
